We’ve all watched the movie, had some good laughs and some of us can even relate to the feeling any employee gets every now and then – wanting to kill your boss. The truth is, even though this movie was too extreme, it was nothing compared to how sadistic and psychopathically charged Egyptian bosses can be. Let’s […]

With all the food options in Dubai, you know one of the hardest things to find? Koshari. Actually, Egyptian food in general. If you’re craving the motherland’s cuisine, you pretty much only had a few options. That is until recently. A few months ago, Misitiqa opened it’s doors to the downtown boulevard with a delicious […]

Recently, I picked up an interest in popular sayings and proverbs in Egypt, aka Amthal Sha3beya. They’re witty, short and apply to pretty much anything you go through in your daily life. I started Googling famous proverbs to understand the stories behind them and their origins, and to my surprise, a lot of the sayings […]

He is only 21 and we couldn’t be more proud of him. Here are six reasons we just LOVE Mohamed Salah: He […]

Hailing from Alexandria myself, I always ate renowned local food at home, but some very delicious dishes stood out as specialties that will always be a part of Alex and its air and sea. Most of the foods that are local to Alex are seafood based (makes sense), but there are also other delectable dishes […]

All girls need a punching bag, especially us Egyptian ladies. We go through things on a daily basis that make us just want to beat the living crap out of people, literally. Instead of smashing someone’s face however, we usually just keep all our anger bottled up inside and go ballistic later in one way […]

Lately in Cairo, girls and women have become more daring with their wardrobes. Okay, some really misinterpret the term “fashionista” and then we have to deal with the eye pollution that they cause, but we have to give credit to the girls who know what they’re doing when they get dressed. It’s clear that emerging […]
